What car say at a private sale in good condition (i.e. normal wear for the age and mileage) it's worth around Â£4,895

For more details about this just go to What Car and enter your car's details!

You could always try Parkers Guide for another opinion but you have to pay Â£3 to allow for mileage and other extras otherwise it will just do it on average for the car's age (5 years 50K ish etc)... I don't mind paying the money as it's for a good reason I mean you only sell/buy the car once right

Wise buyer suggests Â£4,455 adjusted for mileage.

Not a bad site though.. still prefer what car/autotrader.

Don't know when you were thinking of selling but probably best to wait till the new year -everyones head is into Xmas now which makes it a bad time to sell a car but a good time to buy for a bargain. It took us ages to find a good Puma so demand still seems strong which should help with the price -good luck with your sale -watch out for these agencies that ring up and say they can sell the car for you for a fee -a total ripoff! athough not illegal apparently.
